The run begins in May and continues a touring relationship that began back in 1974 when the duo first toured on the Outlaw tour.

[photogallerylink id=25205 align=left]”We love the guys in ZZ Top, and their music, and can’t wait to get back out on the road with them,” Skynyrd frontman Johnny Van Zant said in a prepared statement. “This show is an event that the fans are going to love.”

Billy Gibbons shared much of the same excitement and anticipation for the upcoming tour.

“‘Rebels & Bandoleros’ is more of a coming together of friends than a mere tour,” Gibbons said in a statement. “We’re delighted to be hitting the road with our Skynyrd brethren once more. It’s going to be a great ride.”
